Is the FVP accurate in terms of measuring performance of programs? Is it cycle accurate? If I use clock_gettime to measure time taken on applications, is it meaningful? If not, is there an accurate way to measure performance of programs on the FVP?
Sorry, I should have been more clear on that. As Cycle Models are derived from the actual RTL design, these only become available once the CPUs are released. I was just making the point in general that these are the models for true cycle accuracy.
Oh I see. Thanks for the clarification!
